He used Double Iris’s effect, and Chained the effect of Astrograph Sorcerer to Special Summon it from his hand in Attack Position. He added Star Pendulumgraph from his Deck to his hand and then activated it. Next, he activated Double Iris Magician in his last Pendulum Zone, and Jones flipped Wavering Eyes for the blowout! Mitchell instantly conceded, unwilling to fight back from all of his Pendulum Scales being destroyed and Jones getting to use all of Wavering Eyes’s effects!

Jeff Jones takes a lightning-fast victory in Duel 1 thanks to Wavering Eyes! Jones is just one victory away from becoming the Ultimate Duelist!

He discarded Harmonizing Magician to add Double Iris Magician and Black Fang Magician to his hand and then placed Black Fang Magician and Purple Poison Magician in his Pendulum Zones.

Jones Normal Summoned Skullcrobat Joker and activated its effect, but Mitchell flipped Dimensional Barrier to negate it! Jones activated Purple Poison Magician in his Pendulum Zone and then attacked Tornado Dragon with his Joker. He used Time Pendulumgraph to try to destroy his Black Fang and the Skullcrobat Joker.

Jones passed his turn with a clear field.
